PART I
 
ITEM 1.                 BUSINESS
 
History
 
We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 31, 2006 under the name “Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc.” Until October 2009, our business was to provide management consulting with regard to accounting, computer and general business issues for small and home-office based companies. Effective October 15, 2009, we executed an agreement to acquire Sunshine Biopharma, Inc., a Colorado corporation (subsequently renamed Sunshine Etopo, Inc.), in exchange for the issuance of 21,962,000 shares of our Common Stock and 850,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, each convertible into twenty (20) shares of our Common Stock. As a result of this transaction we changed our name to “Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and our officers and directors resigned their positions with us and were replaced by our current management. The majority of the Common Shares and all of the Convertible Preferred Shares we issued for this transaction were issued to Advanomics Corporation, a privately held Canadian company (“Advanomics”). As a result of the issuance of this stock, Advanomics became a related party. Advanomics had previously granted Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. an exclusive license for an anticancer drug in development called Adva-27a. On December 21, 2011, Advanomics exercised its right to convert the 850,000 shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock it held in our Company into 17,000,000 shares of Common Stock. There are currently no issued and outstanding shares of the Series “A” Preferred Stock of our company.
 
Following the above detailed transactions, we began to operate as a pharmaceutical company focusing on development of the Adva-27a anticancer compound. We operated under a the exclusive technology license agreement with Advanomics until December 2015, at which time we acquired all of the worldwide right to the technology and became direct owner of all issued and pending patents pertaining to the Adva-27a technology. Following acquisition of the Adva-27a patents, the exclusive license agreement with Advanomics was terminated and Sunshine Etopo, Inc., Sunshine Biopharma Inc.’s subsidiary holding the exclusive license with Advanomics, was dissolved. See “Part I, Item 1 – Business - Intellectual Property,” below.
 
In July 2014, we formed a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), for the purposes of offering generic pharmaceutical products in Canada and elsewhere around the globe. Sunshine Canada has recently signed licensing agreements for four (4) generic prescription drugs for the treatment of cancer and BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia).
 
With our entry into the generic pharmaceuticals business, we have become a fully integrated pharmaceutical company offering generic and proprietary drugs for the treatment of cancer and other acute and chronic indications.
 
Our principal place of business is located at 469 Jean-Talon West, 3rd Floor, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3N 1R4. Our phone number is (514) 764-9698 and our website address is www.sunshinebiopharma.com.
 
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.

Business Operations
 
Since inception, we have been operating as a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of proprietary drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer.  In July 2014, we formed Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc., a Canadian wholly owned subsidiary, for the purposes of conducting generic pharmaceuticals business in Canada and elsewhere around the world. During 2016, we intensified activities in the generic pharmaceuticals area and as a result, in addition to our continued efforts to develop our anti-cancer drug, we also intend to become a fully integrated pharmaceutical company offering generic and proprietary drugs for the treatment of cancer and other acute and chronic indications. Below we describe our Generic Pharmaceuticals Operations followed by our Proprietary Drug Development Program.
 
Generic Pharmaceuticals Operations
 
In 2016, our Canadian wholly owned subsidiary, Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), signed Cross Referencing Agreements with a major pharmaceutical company for four prescription generic drugs for the treatment of Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Enlarged Prostate. We will market and sell these new pharmaceutical products under our own Sunshine Biopharma label. These four generic products are as follows:
 
Anastrozole (brand name Arimidex® by AstraZeneca) for treatment of Breast Cancer;
Letrozole (brand name Femara® by Novartis) for treatment of Breast Cancer;
Bicalutamide (brand name Casodex® by AstraZenica) for treatment of Prostate Cancer;
Finasteride (brand name Propecia® by Merck) for treatment of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
 
Worldwide sales of the brand name version of these products as reported in the SEC filing of the respective owner of the registered trademark are as follows:
 
Arimidex® $232M in 2016
Femara® $380M in 2014
Casodex® $247M in 2016
Propecia® $183M in 2015
 
Sunshine Canada is currently in the process of securing a Drug Identification Number (“DIN”) for each of these products from Health Canada. We are also working on finding an appropriate facility and obtaining a Drug Establishment License (“DEL”) from Health Canada. Upon receipt of the DEL and DIN’s, we will be able to accept orders for our own label SBI-Anastrozole, SBI-Letrozole, SBI-Bicalutamide and SBI-Finasteride. We cannot estimate the timing in our obtaining either the DIN or DEL due to variables involved that are out of our control. The Figure below shows our 30-Pill blister pack of Anastrozole.
 
 
We currently have twenty three (23) additional Generic Pharmaceuticals under review for in-licensing. While no assurances can be provided, when completed, this will bring our Generic Products portfolio to a total of twenty seven (27). We believe that a larger product portfolio provides us with more opportunities and a greater reach into the marketplace. We hope to further build our generics portfolio of “SBI” label Generic Pharmaceuticals over time.

Various publicly available sources indicate that the worldwide sales of generic pharmaceuticals are approximately $200 billion per year. In the United States and Canada, the sales of generic pharmaceuticals are approximately $50 billion and $5 billion, respectively. The generic pharmaceuticals business is fairly competitive and there are several multinational players in the field including Teva (Israel), Novartis - Sandoz (Switzerland), Hospira (USA), Mylan (Netherlands), Sanofi (France), Fresenius Kabi (Germany) and Apotex (Canada). While no assurances can be provided, with our offering of Canadian approved products we believe that we will be able to access at least a small percentage of the generic pharmaceuticals marketplace.
 
As part of a subscription agreement, we have an obligation to pay a royalty of 5% of net sales on one of our generic products (Anastrozole) for a period of three (3) years from the date of the first sale of that product.
 
While no assurances can be provided and subject to the availability of adequate financing, of which there is no assurance, we anticipate that profits from the sales of Generic Products will be used to finance our proprietary drug development program, including Adva-27a, our flagship anticancer compound. In addition to near-term revenue generation, building the generics business infrastructure and securing the proper permits will render us appropriately positioned for the marketing and distribution of our proprietary Adva-27a drug candidate, provided that Adva-27a is approved for such marketing and distribution, of which there can be no assurance.
 
Proprietary Drug Development Operations
 
Since inception, our proprietary drug development activities have been focused on the development of a small molecule called Adva-27a for the treatment of aggressive cancers. A Topoisomerase II inhibitor, Adva-27a has been shown to be effective at destroying Multidrug Resistant cancer cells including Pancreatic Cancer cells, Breast Cancer cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells and Uterine Sarcoma cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). Sunshine Biopharma is direct owner of all issued and pending worldwide patents pertaining to Adva-27a including U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935. See “Part I, Item 1 – Business - Intellectual Property.”
 
 
Summary of Adva-27a Preclinical Studies
 
Adva-27a is a GEM-difluorinated C-glycoside derivative of Podophyllotoxin. Another derivative of Podophyllotoxin called Etoposide is currently on the market and is used to treat various types of cancer including leukemia, lymphoma, testicular cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer and several other forms of cancer. Etoposide is one of the most widely used anticancer drugs. Adva-27a and Etoposide are similar in that they both attack the same target in cancer cells, namely the DNA unwinding enzyme, Topoisomerase II. Unlike Etoposide, and other anti-tumor drugs currently in use, Adva-27a is able to destroy Multidrug Resistant Cancer cells. Adva-27a is the only compound known today that is capable of destroying Multidrug Resistant Cancer. In addition, Adva-27a has been shown to have distinct and more desirable biological and pharmacological properties compared to Etoposide. In side-by-side studies using Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer cells and Etoposide as a reference, Adva-27a showed markedly improved cell killing activity (see Figure below). Our preclinical studies to date have shown that:
 
Adva-27a is effective at killing different types of Multidrug Resistant cancer cells, including Pancreatic Cancer Cells (Panc-1), Breast Cancer Cells (MCF-7/MDR), Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells (H69AR), and Uterine Sarcoma Cells (MES-SA/Dx5).
 
Adva-27a is unaffected by P-Glycoprotein, the enzyme responsible for making cancer cells resistant to anti-tumor drugs.
 
 
5
 
 
 
Adva-27a has excellent clearance time (half-life = 54 minutes) as indicated by human microsomes stability studies and pharmacokinetics data in rats.
 
Adva-27a clearance is independent of Cytochrome P450, a mechanism that is less likely to produce toxic intermediates.
 
Adva-27a is an excellent inhibitor of Topoisomerase II with an IC50 of only 13.7 micromolar (this number has recently been reduce to 1.44 micromolar as a result of resolving the two isomeric forms of Adva-27a).
 
Adva-27a has shown excellent pharmacokinetics profile as indicated by studies done in rats.
 
Adva-27a does not inhibit tubulin assembly.
 
These and other preclinical data have been published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, a peer-reviewed International Journal of Cancer Research and Treatment. The publication which is entitled “Adva-27a, a Novel Podophyllotoxin Derivative Found to Be Effective Against Multidrug Resistant Human Cancer Cells” [ANTICANCER RESEARCH 32: 4423-4432 (2012)] is available on our website at www.sunshinebiopharma.com.
 
 
 
 
Clinical Development Path
 
The early stage preclinical studies for our lead compound, Adva-27a, were successfully completed and the results have been published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH 32: 4423-4432 (2012). We have been delayed in our implementation of our clinical development program due to lack of funding. Our fund raising efforts are continuing and as soon as adequate financing is in place we will continue our clinical development program of Adva-27a by conducting the next sequence of steps comprised of the following:
 
GMP Manufacturing of 2 kilogram for use in IND-Enabling Studies and Phase I Clinical Trials
IND-Enabling Studies
Regulatory Filing (Fast-Track Status Anticipated)
Phase I Clinical Trials (Pancreatic Cancer and in parallel Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer)

 GMP Manufacturing
 
On November 14, 2014, we entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement with Lonza Ltd. and Lonza Sales Ltd. (hereinafter jointly referred to as “Lonza”), whereby we engaged Lonza to be the manufacturer of our Adva-27a anticancer drug. In June 2015 we received a sample of the pilot manufacturing run for evaluation. Our laboratory analyses showed that, while the sample meets all of the required chemical, physical and biological specifications, the amount of material generated (the “Yield”) by the pilot run was found to be significantly lower than anticipated. We are currently working towards finding possible solutions to increase the Yield and define a path forward. During the course of our discussions concerning the problem of the low Yield, Lonza informed us that they required us to pay them $687,818 prior to moving forward with any activity pertaining to the manufacturing agreement we have with them. We have repeatedly indicated to Lonza that a clear path defining exactly how the extremely low Yield issue would be addressed is imperative prior to us making any payments. As of the date of this report, neither party has changed its position. See “Part I, Item 3 – Legal Proceedings.”
 
Clinical Trials
 
Adva-27a’s initial indication will be pancreatic cancer and multidrug resistant breast cancer for which there are currently little or no treatment options available. We have concluded an agreement with McGill University’s Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada to conduct Phase I clinical trials for these two indications. All aspects of the planned clinical trials in Canada will employ FDA standards at all levels. Subject to obtaining the necessary financing, we now anticipate that Phase I clinical trials will commence in mid-2018 and we estimate that it will take 18 months to complete, at which time we expect to receive limited marketing approval for “compassionate-use” under the FDA and similar guidelines in Canada. See “Potential Near-Term Opportunities” below.
 
Potential Near-Term Opportunities
 
According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 1.5 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.  Given the terminal and limited treatment options available for the pancreatic cancer and multidrug resistant breast cancer indications we are planning to study, we anticipate being granted limited marketing approval (“compassionate-use”) for our Adva-27a following receipt of funding and a successful Phase I clinical trial.  There are no assurances that either will occur.  Such limited approval will allow us to make the drug available to various hospitals and health care centers for experimental therapy and/or “compassionate-use”, thereby generating some revenues in the near-term.
 
We believe that upon successful completion of Phase I Clinical Trials we may receive one or more offers from large pharmaceutical companies to buyout or license our drug.  However, there are no assurances that our Phase I Trials will be successful, or if successful, that any pharmaceutical companies will make an acceptable offer to us.  In the event we do not consummate such a transaction, we will require significant capital in order to manufacture and market our new drug.

Our Lead Anti-Cancer Compound, Adva-27a, in 3D
 
Intellectual Property
 
Effective October 8, 2015, we executed a Patent Purchase Agreement (the “October Purchase Agreement”), with Advanomics, a related party, pursuant to which we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935 (the “US Patent”) for our anticancer compound, Adva-27a.  On December 28, 2015, we executed a second Patent Purchase Agreement (the “December Purchase Agreement”), with Advanomics, pursuant to which we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to all of the remaining worldwide rights covered by issued and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 (the “Worldwide Patents”) for our anticancer compound, Adva-27a.
 
Effective December 28, 2015, we entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) of these Purchase Agreements pursuant to which the total purchase price was reduced from $17,142,499 to $618,810, the book value of this intellectual property on the financial statements of Advanomics.  Further, the Amendments provided for automatic conversion of the promissory notes representing the new purchase price into an aggregate of 321,305,415 shares of our Common Stock once we increase our authorized capital such that these shares can be issued.  In July 2016 we increased our authorized capital and issued the 321,305,415 Common shares to Advanomics thereby completing all aspects of the patent purchase arrangements and securing direct ownership of all worldwide patents and rights pertaining to Adva-27a.
 
In addition, in 2016 we signed Cross Referencing Agreements with a major pharmaceutical company for four (4) prescription generic drugs for the treatment of Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Enlarged Prostate. These agreements give us the right to register the four (4) generic products, Anastrozole, Letrozole, Bicalutamide and Finasteride in Canada under our own label and obtain a DIN for each in order to be able to place them on the market.
  
Government Regulations
 
Our business operations, including both the generic drugs operations and proprietary drug development operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations.
 
In the U.S, the Federal Government agency responsible for regulating drugs is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The Canadian counterpart to the FDA is the Health Products and Food Branch (“HPFB”) of Health Canada. Both the FDA and HPFB have similar requirements for a drug to be approved for marketing. In addition, the quality standards for brand name drugs and generic drugs are the same. The ingredients, manufacturing processes and facilities for all drugs must meet the guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”). Moreover, all drug manufacturers must perform a series of tests, both during and after production, to show that every drug batch made meets the regulatory agency’s requirements for that product.
 
 
8
 
 
 
In connection with our development of the new chemical entity, Adva-27a, we will be subject to significant regulations in the U.S. in order to obtain the approval of the FDA to offer our product on the market.  The approximate procedure for obtaining FDA approval involves an initial filing of an IND application following which the FDA would review the application and if all the data are in order and acceptable would give the go ahead for the drug sponsor to proceed with Phase I clinical (human) trials.  Following completion of Phase I, the results are filed with the FDA and a request is made to proceed to Phase II.  Similarly, following completion of Phase II the data are filed with the FDA and a request is made to proceed to Phase III.  Following completion of Phase III, a request is made for marketing approval.  Depending on various issues and considerations, the FDA could provide limited marketing approval on a humanitarian basis if the drug treats terminally ill patients with limited treatment options available.  As of the date of this Report we have not made any filings with the FDA or other regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions.  We have however had extensive discussions with clinicians at the McGill University’s Jewish General Hospital in Montreal where we plan to undertake our Phase I study for pancreatic cancer and multidrug resistant breast cancer they believe that Health Canada is likely to grant us a so-called fast-track process on the basis of the terminal nature of the cancer types which we will be treating.  There are no assurances this will occur.
 
Employees
 
As of the date of this Report we have three (3) employees, our management.  We anticipate that if we receive financing we will need additional employees in both our generic pharmaceutical and proprietary drug development operations including accounting, regulatory affairs, marketing, sales and laboratory personnel.
 
Competition
 
In the area of proprietary anticancer drug development, we will be competing with large publicly and privately held companies engaged in developing new cancer therapies. There are numerous other entities engaged in this business that have greater resources, both financial and otherwise, than the resources presently available to us.  Nearly all major pharmaceutical companies including Amgen, Roche, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Novartis, to name just a few, have on-going anti-cancer drug development programs and some of the drug they may develop could be in direct competition with our drug.  Also, a number of small companies are also working in the area of cancer and could develop drugs that may be in competition with ours.  However, none of these competitor companies can use molecules similar to ours as they would be infringing our patents.
 
The generic pharmaceuticals business is fairly competitive and there are many players in the field including several multinationals such as Teva (Israel), Novartis - Sandoz (Switzerland), Hospira (USA), Mylan (Netherlands), Sanofi (France), Fresenius Kabi (Germany) and Apotex (Canada)with annual sales in the range of approximately $2 billion to over $10. With our offering of Canadian approved generic products, we believe that we will be able to access at least a small percentage of the generic pharmaceuticals market.
 
Trademarks-Tradenames
 
We are the exclusive owner of all worldwide rights pertaining to Adva-27a covered by PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029.  The patent applications filed under PCT/FR2007/000697 have been issued in Europe, Canada, the United States (8,236,935) and elsewhere around the world.  The patent applications recently filed internationally under PCT/CA2014/000029 are still pending.
 
We are the owner of Cross Referencing Agreements for four (4) generic drugs which we will market and sell under the tradenames SBI-Anastrozole, SBI-Letrozole, SBI-Bicalutamide and SBI-Finasteride.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
 
As of the date of this Report, our Common Stock is defined as a “penny stock” under the Securities and Exchange Act.  It is anticipated that our Common Stock will remain a penny stock for the foreseeable future.  The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment.  Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act.  Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
 
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
 
 
●  
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
 
 
 
 
●  
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
 
 
 
 
●  
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
 
 
 
 
●  
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
 
 
 
 
●  
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
 
 
 
 
●  
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;
 
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
 
 
●  
the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
 
 
 
 
●  
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
 
 
 
 
●  
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
 
 
 
 
●  
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
 
 
 
11
 
 
 
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.  These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules.  Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
 
Holders
 
We had 149 holders of record of our Common Stock as of the date of this Report, not including those persons who hold their shares in “street name.”
 
Stock Transfer Agent
 
The stock transfer agent for our securities is Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., of Denver, Colorado.  Their address is 3200 Cherry Creek South Drive, Suite 430, Denver, Colorado, 80209.  Their phone number is (303) 282-4800.
 
Dividends
 
We have not paid any dividends since our incorporation and do not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. At present, our policy is to retain earnings, if any, to develop and market our products.  The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, capital requirements, and operating financial conditions.
 
Reports
 
We are subject to certain reporting requirements and furnish annual financial reports to our stockholders, certified by our independent accountants, and furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC.  All reports and information filed by us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein.  In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this Report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change.  These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on our behalf.  We disclaim any obligation to update forward looking statements.

Overview and History
 
We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 31, 2006 under the name “Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc.”  During our fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 our business was to provide management consulting with regard to accounting, computer and general business issues for small and home-office based companies.  Effective October 15, 2009, we executed an agreement to acquire Sunshine Biopharma, Inc., a Colorado corporation, and as a result we became a pharmaceutical company now offering generic and proprietary drugs for the treatment of cancer and other acute and chronic indications.  See “Part I, Item 1 – Business.”
 
Our principal place of business is located at 469 Jean-Talon West, 3rd Floor, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3N 1R4.  Our phone number is (514) 764-9698 and our website address is www.sunshinebiopharma.com.
 
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
 
Going Concern
 
Our financial statements accompanying this Report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We have a minimal operating history and minimal revenues or earnings from operations. We have no significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues for the immediate future.  See “Financial Statements and Notes.”
 
Results Of Operations
 
Comparison of Results of Operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
 
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we did not generate any significant revenues. The revenue amount of $1,708 in 2015 was received from scientific consulting services provided to a company in Montreal (Canada).  
 
Total expenses, including general and administrative expenses and research and development (R&D) expenses for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were $993,108, compared to $781,985 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $211,123.  This increase is primarily attributable to (i) an increase of $24,136 in R&D expenses, (ii) an increase of $120,111 in consulting fees, and (iii) an increase of $429,397 in officers and directors compensation. The increase in consulting fees and officers and directors compensation was as a result of our efforts and focus on advancing our generic pharmaceuticals operations.  The increases in these categories of expenses were offset to some extent by decreases in other expense areas including legal fees and licensing fees. In 2016, our legal fees decreased by $72,370 as a result of us having settled a litigation which we had initiated in January 2015.  Similarly, our license fees decreased from $384,581 in 2015 to $19,203 in 2016. The amount we paid in 2015 was an obligation under a license agreement with Advanomics Corporation for our Adva-27a anticancer drug. During 2015 we acquired the patent rights to our Adva-27a drug and terminated the license agreement with Advanomics. The license expense of $19,203 we paid in 2016 was incurred in order to obtain the rights for our four (4) generic products. See “Part I, Item 1 – Business.”
 
We also incurred $34,732 in interest expense and $1,945,898 in losses from debt conversion during the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $307,211 in interest expense and $575,144 in losses from debt conversion during the similar period in 2015. In addition, we incurred a loss of $556,120 in 2016 as a result of impairment of the patents we purchased in 2015. See “Part I, Item 1 – Business.”
 
As discussed elsewhere in this Report, including “Part I, Item 1 – Business” and “Part III, Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence,” on October 8, 2015, we acquired U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935 (the “US Patent”) for the anticancer compound, Adva-27a from a related entity (Advanomics Corporation), which includes all rights to this intellectual property within the United States, in exchange for an interest-free note payable for $4,320,000.  On December 28, 2015, we acquired the remaining worldwide issued and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 (the “Worldwide Patents”) for the Adva-27a anticancer compound from the same related entity (Advanomics Corporation) in exchange for a note payable for $12,822,499.
 
 
13
 
 
 
Effective December 28, 2015, the parties agreed to amend both of these Patent Purchase Agreements.  The relevant notes were cancelled and each replaced with a new convertible note.  The note applicable to the October 8, 2015 transaction now has a face value of $210,519, comprised of $155,940 in principal amount which is Advanomics’ book value of the US Patent, plus $54,579 as an adjustment for the currency exchange difference.  The note related to the December 28, 2015 transaction was also cancelled and replaced with a new convertible note having a face value of $624,875, comprised of $462,870 in principal amount, which is Advanomics’ book value of the Worldwide Patents, plus $162,005 as an adjustment for the currency exchange difference.  Advanomics has retained a security interest in the Patents until such time as the automatic conversion of the new notes into Common shares is completed.
 
We believe that purchase of the Patents would facilitate our ability to obtain the funding necessary to complete the development and FDA approval process for Adva-27a.  Entering into amendments (“Amendments”) of the original Patent Purchase Agreements was subsequently believed to be necessary as the burdensome financial obligations imposed by the terms of the original Patent Purchase Agreements were not conducive to obtaining such financing, to the mutual detriment of both ourselves and Advanomics.  The Amendments amended the purchase price of the Patents, eliminated all cash payments obligations and replaced the non-convertible notes totaling $17,142,499 with two (2) convertible notes totaling $835,394 that automatically converted into an aggregate of 321,305,415 shares of our Common Stock when we successfully amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized capital of Common Stock to 3 billion. In July 2016, having completed the increase of our authorized capital to 3 billion shares of Common Stock, we issued the 321,305,415 Common Shares to Advanomics thereby completing all aspects of the patent purchase arrangements and securing direct ownership of all worldwide patents and rights pertaining to Adva-27a.
 
In related party transactions, purchased patents are required to be recorded at the purchase price or the book value on the seller’s financial statements, whichever is lower.  Pursuant to the Amendments, the Patents have been purchased from Advanomics, a related party, at Advanomics’ cost less the amortization through the date they were transferred to us ($618,810).  The R&D that was incurred by Advanomics was expensed by Advanomics as incurred and is not included in the book value of the Patents.  Patents expire 20 years from the priority date and are therefore amortized over 20 years.  The dominant patents of the Patents we acquired expire on April 25, 2026 and therefore have approximately 9 years remaining on their useful life.
 
In 2016, following a review of the status of our intellectual property, the remaining value of the Patents ($556,120) on our Balance Sheet was impaired as required under applicable accounting rules.
 
As a result, we incurred a net loss of $3,496,687 (approximately $0.01 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of $1,652,908 (approximately $0.01 per share) during the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
Because we have only generated nominal revenue, following is our Plan of Operation.
 
Plan of Operation
 
As of the date of this Report we are a pharmaceutical company offering generic and proprietary drugs for the treatment of cancer and other acute and chronic indications.  We have also recently signed Cross Referencing Agreements giving us the rights to market and sell four (4) generic pharmaceutical products, Anastrozole, Letrozole, Bicalutamide and Finasteride. In the area of our proprietary drugs program, we continue to work on advancing the development of our lead compound, Adva-27a, a multi-purpose anti-tumor compound targeted for the treatment of multidrug resistant cancer. In addition, we are planning to initiate our own R&D program as soon as practicable, once financing is in place.  There are no assurances that we will obtain the financing necessary to allow us to implement this or other aspects of our business plan.  More details about our Plan of Operations are provided above under “Item 1 – Business.”
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2016, we had cash or cash equivalents of $57,453.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $314,182 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $867,644 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.  We anticipate that our cash requirements for our current operations will increase in the future before we commence our generic products sales operations..
 
 
14
 
 
 
Cash flows used in investing activities were $3,439 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, cash flows used in investing activities were $623,603 arising primarily out of the purchase of the Patents pertaining to our Adva-27a anticancer drug.  Net cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $324,622 in 2016, compared to $1,398,622 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
 
We have issued convertible notes to both related and unaffiliated parties in order to fund our operations. Following is a description of these outstanding convertible notes:
 
In December 2016, we received monies from our CEO in exchange for a note payable having a principal of $90,000 Canadian 9$67,032 US) with interest at 12% due March 31, 2017. The Note is convertible any time after the date of issuance into $0.001 par value Common Stock at a price 35% below market value. We estimated that the fair value of the convertible debt approximates the face value, so no value has been assigned to the beneficial conversion feature. This Note is collateralized by all our assets. On March 31, 2017, the note, together with all accrued interest thereon and an additional principal amount of $3,000 Canadian paid to us in March 2017, was renewed for a 90-day period under the same terms and conditions as the original note. In the event of default, the interest rate will increase to 18% per annum and a penalty of $1,000 CAD per day will accrue.
 
We issued a convertible note in the original principal amount of $12,500 with interest of 12%, which was renewed on December 31, 2015, with the addition of accrued interest amounting to $6,642 (“2015 Note”). The 2015 Note has a Face Value of $19,142 and accrues interest at 12%. We renewed the 2015 Note when it became due on December 31, 2016 (“2016 Note”). The 2016 Note has a Face Value of $21,439 and accrues interest at 12%. The Face Value amount includes $2,297 in accrued interest. The 2016 Note is convertible anytime from the date of issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a 35% discount from market price.
 
On November 27, 2014, we issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $128,000 to a principal shareholder, with interest accruing at the rate of 10% per annum, which was due May 27, 2015. This Note was convertible from issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.20 per share. On June 30, 2015, we renewed this note with the addition of accrued interest amounting to $7,540 and an origination fee of $25,600. The new Note has a Face Value of $161,140 and accrues interest at 12%. The new Note, due December 31, 2015, was convertible any time from the date of issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a 35% discount from market price. On December 31, 2015, we renewed this note with the addition of accrued interest amounting to $9,668 and an origination fee of $32,228. The new Note has a Face Value of $203,036 and accrues interest at 12%. The new Note is due June 30, 2016, and is convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a 35% discount from market price. In January 2016, $38,036 of the principal was converted, leaving a principal balance of $165,000. In connection therewith, 7,705,186 shares of our Common Stock valued $231,156 were issued generating a loss on conversion of $193,120. We renewed this note with the addition of accrued interest amounting to $9,852. The renewed note has a Face Value of $174,852 and accrues interest at 12%. In October 2016, $74,852 of the principal amount was converted, leaving a principal balance of $100,000. In connection therewith, 40,374,475 shares of our Common Stock valued $290,696 were issued, generating a loss of $215,844 on conversion.
 
The following convertible notes were fully converted as of the date of this Report:
 
In August 2015, we received monies in exchange for a convertible note having a Face Value of $83,000, with interest accruing at 8% and a maturity date of May 7, 2016. The Note is convertible after 180 days from issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a price 35% below market value. The Note, including $83,000 of principal and $3,120 in interest, was fully converted into $0.001 par value Common Stock during the period ended December 31, 2016. In connection therewith, 9,906,049 shares of our Common Stock, valued at $146,658, were issued generating a loss of $60,538 on the conversion.
 
In February 2016, we received monies in exchange for a note having a Face Value of $85,000 with interest at 8%, which was due November 18, 2016. The Note is convertible after 180 days from issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a price 35% below market value. The Note, including $85,000 of principal and $3,400 in interest, was fully converted into 27,538,058 shares of our Common Stock valued at $172,433 were issued generating a loss of $84,033 on the conversion.
 
In June 2016, we received monies in exchange for a note having a Face Value of $55,000 with interest accruing at 10%, which was due April 1, 2017. The Note is convertible after 180 days from issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a price 40% below market value. In December 2016, $6,500 of the principal was converted into 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock valued at $20,000 and generating a loss of $13,500 on conversion. In January 2017, the remaining principal balance of $48,500 and $3,022 in accrued interest was converted into 42,528,125 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock, leaving a principal balance of $-0-.

On January 8, 2016, a principal shareholder of our Company holding a convertible note having a principal balance of $203,036 on December 31, 2015, elected to convert $38,036 in principal amount into 7,705,186 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock, leaving a principal balance of $165,000.
 
On February 24, 2016, we sold 7,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for $105,000 Canadian (approximately $76,104 US) under Regulation S exemption to fund the previously announced generic pharmaceuticals operations.
 
On October 18, 2016, a principal shareholder of our Company holding a convertible note having a principal balance of $174,852 on July 1, 2016, elected to convert $74,852 in principal amount into 40,374,475 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock, leaving a principal balance of $100,000
 
In the aggregate, during the year ended December 31, 2016, we issued 411,829,184 shares of our Common Stock for the conversion of $1,122,782 in debt and interest of $9,270. We sold 12,555,556 shares of Common Stock for cash of $104,128 and issued 146,750,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for services valued at $702,300.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we issued 124,714,077 shares of our Common Stock.  Of these, 102,914,077 were issued for the conversion of $501,624 in debt and $12,886 in interest.  In addition, we sold 20,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for cash of $236,550 and issued 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for services valued at $66,500.
 
We are not generating revenue from our operations, and our ability to implement our business plan as set forth herein will depend on the future availability of financing.  Such financing will be required to enable us to further develop our generic pharmaceuticals business and proprietary drug development program.  We intend to raise funds through private placements of our Common Stock and/or debt financing. We estimate that we will require approximately $6 million ($1 million for the generic pharmaceutical operations and $5 million for the proprietary drug development program) to fully implement our business plan in the future and there are no assurances that we will be able to raise this capital.  While we are engaged in discussions with various investment banking firms and venture capitalists to provide us these funds, as of the date of this report we have not reached any agreement with any party that has agreed to provide us with the capital necessary to effectuate our business plan.  Our inability to obtain sufficient funds from external sources when needed will have a material adverse effect on our plan of operation, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our cost to continue operations as they are now conducted is nominal, but these are expected to increase as we move forward with implementation of our business plan.  We do not have sufficient funds to cover the anticipated increase in the relevant expenses.  We need to raise additional funds in order to continue our existing operations, to initiate R&D activities, and to finance our plans to expand our operations for the next year.  If we are successful in raising additional funds, our operations and business efforts will continue and expand.
 
Inflation
 
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Leases
 
We follow the guidance in SFAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases,” as amended, which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements we enter into to determine whether they represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied either retrospectively or on a prospective basis to all deferred tax assets and liabilities. We adopted ASU 2015-17 during our first quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016, on a retrospective basis. The adoption of 2015-17 had no impact on our financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to provide guidance on recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements, specifically differentiating between different types of leases. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. There continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases. However, the principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases should be recognized in the balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach.
 
The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. These practical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset.
 
An entity that elects to apply the practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and address how an entity should assess whether it is the principal or the agent in contracts that include three or more parties. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09 (discussed above). We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to reduce complexity in accounting standards involving several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including (1) the income tax consequences, (2) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and (3) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and intrinsic value should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method, amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement should be applied retrospectively, amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement and the practical expedient for estimating expected term should be applied prospectively, and amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows can be applied using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.
 
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: 1) identifying performance obligations, and 2) the licensing implementation guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09 (discussed above). We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.
 
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to clarify certain core recognition principles including collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and disclosures no longer required if the full retrospective transition method is adopted.
 
The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09 (discussed above). We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to clarify how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method, and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.
 
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), to provide guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flow. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method, and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
 
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sunshine Biopharma, Inc., as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
 
The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
 
Note 1 – Description of Business
 
Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc. (“MWBS”) was incorporated on August 31, 2006 in the State of Colorado. Sunshine Etopo, Inc. (formerly Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 17, 2009. Effective October 15, 2009, MWBS was acquired by Sunshine Etopo, Inc. in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. MWBS concurrently changed its name to Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. Sunshine Etopo, Inc. has been inactive and was recently dissolved.
 
In July 2014, the Company formed a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. The financial statements represent the consolidated activity of Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (hereinafter together referred to as the "Company"). The Company was formed for the purposes of conducting research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer. The Company may also engage in any other business that is permitted by law, as designated by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
The Company’s wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”) was formed for the purposes of offering generic pharmaceutical products in Canada and elsewhere around the globe. Sunshine Canada has recently signed licensing agreements for four (4) generic prescription drugs for treatment of cancer and BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia). In addition, Sunshine Canada is currently evaluating several other generic products for in-licensing and is working on securing a Drug Establishment License (“DEL”) and a Drug Identification Number (“DIN”) per product from Health Canada. Once the DEL and the DIN’s are secured, Sunshine Canada will begin its generic pharmaceuticals marketing and sales program in Canada and overseas.
 
During the last three month period the Company has continued to raise money through stock sales and borrowings.
 
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s generics business and proprietary drug development program.
 
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding the Company's financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting  policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and  have  been  consistently  applied  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial statements.

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and assumptions  that  affect the  reported amounts of assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the reporting  period.  The  more  significant  estimates  and  assumptions  made by management  are valuation of equity  instruments,  depreciation  of property and equipment,  and deferred tax asset  valuation.  Actual results could differ from those estimates as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
For  the  Balance  Sheets  and  Statements of Cash Flows,  all  highly  liquid investments with maturity of 90 days or less are  considered  to be cash equivalents.  The Company had a cash balance of $57,453 and $50,798 as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At times such cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC limit of $250,000 or the equivalent in Canada.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
In 2016 and 2015, the Company purchased laboratory and office equipment valued at $3,439 per Cash Flow and $4,793, respectively. Property and equipment is reviewed for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may exceed future undiscounted cash inflows. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company had not identified any such impairment for its equipment. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred and improvements and renewals are capitalized.
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes. Their estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
 
Office Equipment:
5-7 Years
 
Laboratory Equipment
5 Years
 
Vehicles
5 Years
 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS - PATENTS
 
The cost of patents acquired is capitalized and will be amortized over the shorter of the term of the patent life, 20 years, or the remaining life of the underlying patents.

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
 
The Company evaluates recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that intangible assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of cost significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. The Company measures the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it.
 
There was an impairment loss of $556,120 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company’s management determined that the expected cash flows would be less than the carrying amount of assets being evaluated, therefore an impairment loss was recognized. The impairment loss was calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets, exceed fair value (see Note 4).
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 260 regarding earnings / loss per share, which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings / loss per share. Basic earnings / loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income / loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings / loss per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings / loss per share.
 
There were no potentially dilutive instruments outstanding during the period ended December 31, 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
In accordance with ASC 740 - Income Taxes, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements.  The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities have been adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
The Company expects to recognize the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount to be recognized in the financial statements will be the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expenses. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations nor has it had any federal or state examinations since its inception. To date, the Company has not incurred any interest or tax penalties.
 
For federal tax purposes, the Company’s 2013 through 2015 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three-year statute of limitations.

FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY
 
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company which is operating in the United States. The functional currency for the Company's Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. The Company translates its Canadian subsidiary's financial statements into U.S. dollars as follows:
 
Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date.
 
Income statement accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rate for the period.
 
The Company includes translation adjustments from currency exchange and the effect of exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. There are currently no transactions of a long-term investment nature, nor any gains or losses from non-U.S. currency transactions.
 
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, notes receivables, deposits, and trade receivables. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 there were no trade receivables.
 
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 825, Financial Instruments. ASC 825 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the fair value of cash, accounts receivable and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates.
 
The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2016 and 2015
 
Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
 
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared.
 
NOTES PAYABLE
 
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
 
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES LIABILITIES
 
The Company evaluates stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense.
 
Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. The Company determined that none of the Company’s financial instruments meet the criteria for derivative accounting as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

EQUITY INSTRUMENTS ISSUED TO NON-EMPLOYEES FOR AQUIRING GOODS OR SERVICES
 
Issuances of the Company’s common stock or warrants for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates.
 
NONCASH EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
 
Shares of equity instruments issued for noncash consideration are recorded at the estimated fair market value of the consideration granted based on the estimated market value of the equity instrument, or at the estimated value of the goods or services received whichever is more readily determinable.
 
RELATED PARTIES
 
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
 
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
 
General and administrative expenses consisted of professional service fees, rent and utility expenses, meals, travel and entertainment expenses, and other general and administrative overhead costs. Expenses are recognized when incurred.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET GAIN (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement.
 
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method or the two-class method, whichever is more dilutive. As the Company incurred net losses for the year ended December 31, 2016 no potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the impact would have been anti-dilutive.
 
Therefore, basic and dilutive net (loss) per share were the same as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company is focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer. The Company does not expect to generate revenues until clinical trials of its proposed products are completed. Once completed, revenues would be recognized as its technology is licensed or sold or its products become marketable.
 
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. As amended by the FASB in July 2015, the standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2018.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If such conditions or events exist, disclosures are required that enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature of the conditions or evens, management's evaluation of the circumstances and management's plans to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. We will be required to perform an annual assessment of our ability to continue as a going concern when this standard becomes effective on January 1, 2017; however, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied either retrospectively or on a prospective basis to all deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 during our first quarter of the year ended December 31, 2016 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of 2015-17 had no impact on our financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to provide guidance on recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements, specifically differentiating between different types of leases. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. There continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases. However, the principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases should be recognized in the balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach.
 
The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. These practical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset.
 
An entity that elects to apply the practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.
  
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and address how an entity should assess whether it is the principal or the agent in contracts that include three or more parties. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09 (discussed above). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to reduce complexity in accounting standards involving several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including (1) the income tax consequences, (2) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and (3) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and intrinsic value should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method, amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement should be applied retrospectively, amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement and the practical expedient for estimating expected term should be applied prospectively, and amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows can be applied using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.
 
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: 1) identifying performance obligations, and 2) the licensing implementation guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09 (discussed above). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.
 
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to clarify certain core recognition principles including collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and disclosures no longer required if the full retrospective transition method is adopted.
 
The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09 (discussed above). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to clarify how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method, and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), to provide guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flow. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method, and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.
  
GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $12,577,954 and $9,081,267 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, had a net loss of approximately, $3,496,687 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and a net loss of $1,652,908 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, and Shareholders’ Equity of approximately $209,700 and ($597,045) at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations, Management intends to raise additional funds by way of equity and/or debt financing to fund operations. Historically, Management has not been successful in raising adequate financing for the Company and therefore there is doubt about its potential success in the future.
 
DIRECTOR AND OFFICER COMPENSATION
 
In April 2016, the Company issued the three members of its Board of Directors 36,000,000 shares of $0.001 Common Stock valued at $252,000 or $0.0078 per share for services rendered to the Company in 2015. In December 2016, the Company issued 78,000,000 of par value $0.001 Common Stock to the three Company Officers valued at $241,800 or $0.0031 per share for services rendered to the Company in 2016. These Officers and Directors shares are restricted and may not be sold without prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, the Company made cash payments of $1,000 to the CEO and $4,597 to the CFO for services rendered to the Company in 2016.
 
Through the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock to the CEO of the Company valued at $50,000 or $0.10 per share and paid $20,000 in cash to another Officer who resigned his position with the Company in February 2015.
 
LEGAL FEES
 
During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, legal fees were incurred largely as a result of services provided to the Company to assist with its regulatory requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a litigation in which it was involved and since been settled which settlement included a payment to the Company of $25,000.

DATE OF MANAGEMENT’S REVIEW
 
Subsequent events have been evaluated through April 12, 2017, which is the date the Financial Statements were available to be issued.
 
Note 3 – Going Concern
 
In the course of its life the Company has had limited operations, and has a Working Capital deficit. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes it can raise capital through equity sales and borrowing to fund its operations. Management believes this will contribute toward its subsequent profitability. Historically, Management has not been successful in raising adequate financing for the Company and therefore there is doubt about its potential success in the future. The accompanying Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Note 4 – Patents
 
The following is a summary of the Patents held by the Company at December 31, 2016 and 2015:
 
On October 8, 2015, the Company acquired U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935 (the “US Patent”) for the Adva-27a anticancer compound from Advanomics Corporation (“Advanomics”), a related party, in exchange for an interest-free note payable for $4,320,000. Effective December 28, 2015, the parties executed an amendment pursuant to which this note payable for $4,320,000 was cancelled and replaced with a new interest-free convertible note having a face value of $210,519, comprised of $155,940 in principal amount which is the Advanomics book value of the US Patent, plus $54,579 as an adjustment for the currency exchange difference. The new note is automatically convertible into 80,968,965 shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the Company increasing its authorized capital to a level that would permit the issuance of such shares.
 
On December 28, 2015, the Company acquired the remaining worldwide issued and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 (the “Worldwide Patents”) for the Adva-27a anticancer compound from Advanomics, a related party, in exchange for a note payable for $12,822,499. Effective December 28, 2015, the parties executed an amendment pursuant to which this note payable for $12,822,499 was cancelled and replaced with a new interest-free convertible note having a face value of $624,875, comprised of $462,870 in principal amount, which is the Advanomics book value of the Worldwide Patents, plus $162,005 as an adjustment for the currency exchange difference. The new note is automatically convertible into 240,336,451 shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the Company increasing its authorized capital to a level that would permit the issuance of such shares. The US Patent and the Worldwide Patents are herein referred to as the “Patents.”
 
The Patents were therefore acquired from the related party (Advanomics) for $618,810 which is the U.S. dollar equivalent of the related party’s cost of $856,248 Canadian. Patents expire 20 years from the priority date and are therefore amortized over 20 years. The oldest of the Patents expires on April 25, 2026 and therefore the Company has deemed that the Patents have approximately 10 years remaining on their useful life.

In July 2016, the Company issued 321,305,416 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock in exchange for the Patents related notes payable totaling $835,394 (See Note 10).
 
The current carrying value of the Company’s Patents is $615,038. Using applicable GAAP, the Company determined that the fair value of the Patents is $-0- based on expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. The cash flows are those expected to be generated by the market participants, discounted at the risk-free rate of interest. Therefore the Company reduced the Patent to $-0- for GAAP purposes.

The Company’s authorized capital is comprised of 3,000,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock and 30,000,000 shares of $0.10 par value Preferred Stock, to have such rights and preferences as the Directors of the Company have or may assign from time to time. Out of the authorized Preferred Stock, the Company has designated 850,000 shares as Series “A” Preferred Stock (“Series A”). The Series A is convertible at any time after issuance into 20 shares of the Company's Common Stock with no further consideration, has full voting rights at 20 votes per share, and has superior liquidation rights to the Common Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company authorized 500,000 shares of $0.10 par value Series “B” Preferred Stock (“Series B”). The Series B Preferred Stock is non-convertible, non-redeemable and non-retractable. It has superior liquidation rights to the Common Stock at $0.10 per share and gives the holder the right to 1,000 votes per share. Through December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has issued and outstanding a total of 769,399,858 and 198,265,118 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Through the same periods, the Company has issued and outstanding a total of -0- and -0- shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 500,000 and 500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively.

Note 11 – Related Party Transactions
 
Effective October 8, 2015, we executed a Patent Purchase Agreement (the “October Purchase Agreement”), with Advanomics, a related party, pursuant to which we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935 (the “US Patent”) for our anticancer compound, Adva-27a.  The October Purchase Agreement provided us with direct ownership of the US Patent, which includes all rights to this intellectual property within the United States.  Prior, we had been licensing the right to use the US Patent from Advanomics pursuant to the terms of an Exclusive License Agreement, as amended (the “Exclusive License Agreement”).  In consideration for the assignment of the US Patent, we agreed to make payments of twelve (12) consecutive annual payments of $360,000 starting in 2016.
 
Effective December 28, 2015, we executed a second Patent Purchase Agreement (the “December Purchase Agreement”), with Advanomics pursuant to which we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to all of the remaining worldwide patent rights for issued and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 (the “Worldwide Patents”) for our anticancer compound, Adva-27a.  The purchase price paid by us for these patent rights was $12,822,499, which is payable pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note, with quarterly payments of $70,000 in principal and interest beginning in March 2016 and continuing each consecutive calendar quarter thereafter through December 2020.  Advanomics was granted a security interest in both the US Patent and the Worldwide Patents until all payments due under the both Patent Purchase Agreements have been made.
 
Effective December 28, 2015, the parties agreed to amend both of the aforesaid Patent Purchase Agreements.  The relevant notes of the original Patent Purchase Agreements were cancelled and each replaced with a new convertible note.  The note applicable to the October Purchase Agreement now has a face value of $210,519, comprised of $155,940 in principal amount which is Advanomics’ book value of the US Patent, plus $54,579 as an adjustment for the currency exchange difference.  The new note pertaining to the December Purchase Agreement was replaced with a convertible note having a face value of $624,875, comprised of $462,870 in principal amount, which is Advanomics’ book value of the Worldwide Patents, plus $162,005 as an adjustment for the currency exchange difference.  Advanomics has retained a security interest in the Patents until such time as the automatic conversion of the new notes into Common shares is completed.

As a result of the aforesaid two transactions the Company now own all of the patents and rights throughout the world for Adva-27a.
 
The Company believes that purchase of the Patents would facilitate its ability to obtain the funding necessary to complete the development and FDA approval process for Adva-27a.  Entering into amendments (“Amendments”) of the original patent purchase agreements was subsequently believed to be necessary as the burdensome financial obligations imposed by the terms of the original Patent Purchase Agreements were not conducive to obtaining such financing, to the mutual detriment of both the Company and Advanomics.  The Amendments amended the purchase price of the Patents, eliminated all cash payments obligations and replaced the non-convertible notes totaling $17,142,499 with convertible notes that will automatically convert into an aggregate of 321,305,415 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (representing approximately 59% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common shares) once we successfully amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized capital of Common Stock to 3 billion. In July 2016 the Company increased its authorized capital to 3 billion shares of Common Stock and issued the 321,305,415 Common shares to Advanomics thereby completing all aspects of the patent purchase arrangements.
 
Prior to the aforesaid patent purchase transactions the Company had been licensing its technology on an exclusive basis (“Exclusive License Agreement”) from Advanomics.  On December 21, 2011, the Company’s executed an amendment to the Exclusive License Agreement which waived a condition of termination and revised the consideration payable to Advanomics.  The original Exclusive License Agreement required the Company’s to exercise an option to purchase shares in Advanomics for aggregate consideration of $9,700,000.00 ($5.00 per share).  This obligation was waived and replaced with an annual licensing fee of $360,000.00 and reimbursement of R&D expenses incurred by Advanomics in connection with Adva-27a, the Licensed Material as defined in the original Exclusive License Agreement.
 
The Company believes the financial terms of the two aforesaid patents purchase arrangements are more favorable to the Company than under the Exclusive License Agreement.  the Company’s obligations under the Exclusive License Agreement required the Company to pay Advanomics a perpetual annual license fee of $360,000 and reimburse Advanomics for all R&D expenses incurred by Advanomics in connection with Adva-27a, the Licensed Material (as defined in the Exclusive License Agreement).  The October Purchase Agreement terminated the Exclusive License Agreement and all obligations thereunder.
 
Certain members of the Company’s management, including Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, the Company’s President, CEO and a Director and Camille Sebaaly, the Company’s Secretary, CFO and a Director, hold similar positions with Advanomics.  The Company believes that the terms of the patent acquisitions are fair and reasonable and will result in a greater opportunity for the Company to obtain the funding necessary to complete the approval process of the FDA for Adva-27a.  However, there are no assurances this will occur and as of the date of this Report, the Company has no binding commitment from any financing source to provide it with the funds necessary to complete the approval process.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures  Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
 
These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO/CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2016, at reasonable assurance level, for the following reasons:
 
ineffective control environment and lack of qualified full-time CFO who has SEC experience to focus on our financial affairs;
 
lack of qualified and sufficient personnel, and processes to adequately and timely identify making any and all required public disclosures;
 
deficiencies in the period-end reporting process and accounting policies;
 
inadequate internal controls over the application of new accounting principles or the application of existing accounting principles to new transactions;
 
inadequate internal controls relating to the authorization, recognition, capture, and review of transactions, facts, circumstances, and events that could have a material impact on the company’s financial reporting process;
 
deficient revenue recognition policies;
 
inadequate internal controls with respect to inventory transactions; and
 
improper and lack of timely accounting for accruals such as prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
 
Our Board of Directors has assigned a priority to the short-term and long-term improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. We are reviewing various potential solutions to remedy the processes that would eliminate the issues that may arise due to the absence of separation of duties within the financial reporting functions. Additionally, the Board of Directors will work with management to continuously review controls and procedures to identified deficiencies and implement remediation within our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures.
 
We believe that our financial statements presented in this annual report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.
 
Inherent Limitations – Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Those rules define internal control over financial reporting as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: 
 
 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
 
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
Based on an assessment carried out March 10, 2017, management believes that, as of December 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting were ineffective based in part on the issues discussed above.

Dr. Steve N. Slilaty was appointed as our CEO, President and Chairman of our Board of Directors on October 15, 2009.  Dr. Slilaty is an accomplished scientist and business executive. His scientific publications are widely cited including university textbooks. Sunshine Biopharma is the third in a line of biotechnology companies that Dr. Slilaty founded and managed through their early and mid-stages of development.  The first, Quantum Biotechnologies Inc. later known as Qbiogene Inc., was founded in 1991 and grew to over $60 million in annual sales.  Today, Qbiogene is a member of a family of companies owned by MP Biomedicals, one of the largest international suppliers of biotechnology reagents and other research products.  The second company which Dr. Slilaty founded, Genomics One Corporation, later known as Alert B&C Corporation, conducted an initial public offering (IPO) of its capital stock in 1999 and, on the basis of its ownership of Dr. Slilaty’s patented TrueBlue® Technology, Genomics One became one of the key participants in the Human Genome Project.  Formerly a research team leader of the Biotechnology Research Institute, a division of the National Research Council of Canada, Dr. Slilaty also served as a consultant in a management and advisory capacity for a major Canadian biotechnology company between 1995 and 1997 during which time the company completed one of the largest biotechnology IPO‘s in Canada. Dr. Slilaty is one of the pioneers of Gene Therapy having developed the first gene delivery system applicable to humans in 1983 [Science 220:725-727 (1983)]. Dr. Slilaty's other distinguished scientific career accomplishments include the discovery of a new class of enzymes, the S24 Family of Proteases (IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature: EC 3.4.21.88), development of the first site-directed mutagenesis system applicable to double-stranded DNA, cloning the gene for the first yeast-lytic enzyme (lytic b-1,3-glucanase), developing a new molecular strategy for increasing the rate of enzyme reactions, inventing a powerful new cloning system for genomic cloning and gene discovery (TrueBlue® Technology) and developing a new transcriptomics technology for generating entire RNA profiles. These and other works of Dr. Slilaty are cited in research papers, editorials, review articles and textbooks.  Dr. Slilaty received his Ph.D. degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Arizona in 1983 and Bachelor of Science degree in Genetics and Biochemistry from Cornell University in 1976.  In addition, Dr. Slilaty holds a position as Adjunct Professor at Université du Québec in the Department of Microbiology and Biotechnology.  He devotes approximately 50% of his time to our business affairs.

ITEM 13.     CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Related Party Transactions
 
In December 2016, we received monies from our CEO in exchange for a note payable having a principal of $90,000 Canadian ($67,032 US) with interest at 12% due March 31, 2017. The Note is convertible any time after the date of issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a price 35% below market value. We estimated that the fair value of the convertible debt approximates the face value, so no value has been assigned to the beneficial conversion feature. This Note is collateralized by all our assets. On March 31, 2017, the Note, together with all accrued interest thereon and an additional principal amount of $3,000 Canadian paid to us in March 2017, was renewed for a 90-day period under the same terms and conditions as the original Note.
 
Effective October 8, 2015, we executed a Patent Purchase Agreement (the “October Purchase Agreement”), with Advanomics, a related party, pursuant to which we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935 (the “US Patent”) for our anticancer compound, Adva-27a.  The October Purchase Agreement provided us with direct ownership of the US Patent, which includes all rights to this intellectual property within the United States.  Prior, we had been licensing the right to use the US Patent from Advanomics pursuant to the terms of an Exclusive License Agreement, as amended (the “Exclusive License Agreement”).  In consideration for the assignment of the US Patent, we agreed to make payments of twelve (12) consecutive annual payments of $360,000 starting in 2016.
   
Effective December 28, 2015, we executed a second Patent Purchase Agreement (the “December Purchase Agreement”), with Advanomics pursuant to which we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to all of the remaining worldwide patent rights for issued and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 (the “Worldwide Patents”) for our anticancer compound, Adva-27a.  The purchase price paid by us for these patent rights was $12,822,499, which is payable pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note, with quarterly payments of $70,000 in principal and interest beginning in March 2016 and continuing each consecutive calendar quarter thereafter through December 2020.  Advanomics was granted a security interest in both the US Patent and the Worldwide Patents until all payments due under the both Patent Purchase Agreements have been made.
 
Effective December 28, 2015, the parties agreed to amend both of the aforesaid Patent Purchase Agreements.  The relevant notes of the original Patent Purchase Agreements were cancelled and each replaced with a new convertible note.  The note applicable to the October Purchase Agreement now has a face value of $210,519, comprised of $155,940 in principal amount which is Advanomics’ book value of the US Patent, plus $54,579 as an adjustment for the currency exchange difference.  The new note pertaining to the December Purchase Agreement was replaced with a convertible note having a face value of $624,875, comprised of $462,870 in principal amount, which is Advanomics’ book value of the Worldwide Patents, plus $162,005 as an adjustment for the currency exchange difference.  Advanomics has retained a security interest in the Patents until such time as the automatic conversion of the new notes into Common shares is completed.
 
As a result of the aforesaid two transactions we now own all of the patents and rights throughout the world for Adva-27a.
 
We believe that purchase of the Patents would facilitate our ability to obtain the funding necessary to complete the development and FDA approval process for Adva-27a.  Entering into amendments (“Amendments”) of the original patent purchase agreements was subsequently believed to be necessary as the burdensome financial obligations imposed by the terms of the original Patent Purchase Agreements were not conducive to obtaining such financing, to the mutual detriment of both ourselves and Advanomics.  The Amendments amended the purchase price of the Patents, eliminated all cash payments obligations and replaced the non-convertible notes totaling $17,142,499 with convertible notes that will automatically convert into an aggregate of 321,305,415 shares of our Common Stock (representing approximately 59% of our issued and outstanding Common shares) once we successfully amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized capital of Common Stock to 3 billion.
 
 
26
 
 
Prior to the aforesaid patent purchase transactions we had been licensing our technology on an exclusive basis (“Exclusive License Agreement”) from Advanomics.  On December 21, 2011, we executed an amendment to the Exclusive License Agreement which waived a condition of termination and revised the consideration payable to Advanomics.  The original Exclusive License Agreement required us to exercise an option to purchase shares in Advanomics for aggregate consideration of $9,700,000.00 ($5.00 per share).  This obligation was waived and replaced with an annual licensing fee of $360,000.00 and reimbursement of R&D expenses incurred by Advanomics in connection with Adva-27a, the Licensed Material as defined in the original Exclusive License Agreement.
 
We believe the financial terms of the two aforesaid patents purchase arrangements are more favorable to us than under the Exclusive License Agreement.  Our obligations under the Exclusive License Agreement required us to pay Advanomics a perpetual annual license fee of $360,000 and reimburse Advanomics for all R&D expenses incurred by Advanomics in connection with Adva-27a, the Licensed Material (as defined in the Exclusive License Agreement).  The October Purchase Agreement terminated the Exclusive License Agreement and all obligations thereunder.
 
Certain members of our management, including Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, our President, CEO and a Director and Camille Sebaaly, our Secretary, CFO and a Director, hold similar positions with Advanomics.  We believe that the terms of the patent acquisitions are fair and reasonable and will result in a greater opportunity for us to obtain the funding necessary to complete the approval process of the FDA for Adva-27a.  However, there are no assurances this will occur and as of the date of this report, we have no binding commitment from any financing source to provide us with the funds necessary to complete the approval process.
  
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we authorized 500,000 shares of $0.10 par value Series “B” Preferred Stock.  The Series “B” Preferred Stock is non-convertible, non-redeemable, and non-retractable, has a superior liquidation value of $0.10 per share and gives the holder the right to 1,000 votes per share.  All 500,000 shares of the Series “B” Preferred Stock were issued to Dr. Slilaty, our CEO, in exchange for services valued at $50,000.
 
Our principal place of business is located at 469 Jean-Talon West, 3rd Floor, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3N 1R4.  This is also the location of our former licensor, Advanomics Corporation, who provided this space to us on a rent free basis in 2015 and 2016.  Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, our Chief Executive Officer and a Director, is an Officer, Director and principal shareholder of Advanomics.  Starting January 1, 2017 we took over the lease from Advanomics and this space is now exclusively our own.
 
In February and April 2016, we paid $30,000 and $50,487 to Advanomics for the balance of 2015 licensing fees.
 
On November 27, 2014, we issued a Note Payable in the principal amount of $128,000 to an individual who is now a principal shareholder. This Note accrues interest at 10% per annum and was originally due May 27, 2015 and was originally convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.20 per share. On June 30, 2015, we renewed this note with the addition of accrued interest amounting to $7,540 and an origination fee of $25,600. The new Note has a Face Value of $161,140 and accrues interest at 12%. The new Note was due December 31, 2015, and was convertible any time from the date of issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a 35% discount from market price. On December 31, 2015, we again renewed this note with the addition of accrued interest amounting to $9,668 and an origination fee of $32,228. The new Note has a Face Value of $203,036 and accrues interest at 12%. The new Note was due June 30, 2016, was convertible anytime from the date of issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a 35% discount from market price. In January 2016, $38,036 of the principal was converted, leaving a principal balance of $165,000. In connection therewith, 7,705,186 shares of our Common Stock, valued $231,156 were issued generating a loss on conversion of $193,120. We renewed this note again with the addition of accrued interest amounting to $9,852. The renewed note has a Face Value of $174,852 and accrues interest at 12%. It is due on March 31, 2017. In October 2016, $74,852 of the principal amount was converted, leaving a principal balance of $100,000, which was renewed with interest thereon for 90 days. In connection therewith, 40,374,475 shares of our Common Stock valued $290,696 were issued generating a loss of $215, 844 on conversion. As a result of this conversion, the holder then held over 5% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares. We estimate that the fair value of this convertible debt approximates the face value, so no value has been assigned to the beneficial conversion feature to be recognized at conversion.  
 
In January, 2017, we paid $2,000 Canadian (approximately $1,500 US) to our COO for consulting services to be rendered to us in 2017.
